Markets 🤔
What to know (or pretend you do):
- Solana ETFs, that shiny new toy of Wall Street’s glitterati, just had its first tantrum – a ghastly $8.10 million flight on Friday, as if investors suddenly remembered they could be doing literally anything else. Since October 28, however, they’ve flirted with a net gain of over $600 million, possibly because no one can resist the siren call of “Hey look, a programmable blockchain!”
- Thursday’s brief flirtation with $5 million of fresh cash was the market equivalent of a quick smooch – quickly rebuffed Monday with a redemptive $13.55 million escape act. Evidently, investors can be committed – or simply indecisive – in equal measure.
- In contrast, Bitcoin and Ethereum have-shocking-been bleeding billions, their leaky faucets no match for Solana’s short-lived infatuation. Meanwhile, Solana’s ETFs have garnered more affection than a puppy in a pet store, pulling in over $540 million just via Bitwise’s BSOL alone.
So, it seems the Solana bulls have hit the pause button – perhaps to contemplate the meaning of life, or just marvel at how much money can be pumped into something that’s basically a glorified blockchain bingo game. These ETFs strutted around in November, causing a minor financial sensation, only to be rudely interrupted by, well, human beings with the attention spans of goldfish.
Since their debut, the net inflow of over $600 million makes them the belle of the crypto ball, drawing attention beyond the usual suspects of BTC and ETH – who are busy bleeding out like spoiled brats spoiled. Franklin Templeton’s chutzpah in submitting an SEC ETF application indicates that, yes, investors still want a slice of that programmable blockchain pie – without the hassle of actually owning it. Genius, really.
